Hi

here is my grub.con

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda6
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=1
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-42.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img

I am running Redha AS4, the timeout value in grub file is not working and though I have set it to 1 second, but it stais at the grub manu for a long time and start booting.

I have reinstalled the grub but still no change

Are you sure this is the version being used? Try changing the title a little and see if it changes when the menu pops up.

Hi billymayday

This is the release file content Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)

I changed the title as you suggested, and when the machine boots up I can see the in the grub menu

Regards

And it boots OK if you hit enter?

Did the delay work for a larger value (say 10 secs)?

Yes when I hit enter it boots okay

But did it work for larger timeout values?

No not even for larg timeout it works

That's very odd. I'd try commenting that line out, and manually re-entering a timeout line.

Did that to billymayday, and I reinstalled the grub but made no difference

Try commenting out the "hiddenmenu" line.

#hiddenmenu

All this would do is show you the grub bootloader.

Hi Libu same thing it just not auto boot

Can you try booting without your keyboard plugged in?

Are you looking at the correct file "/boot/grub/grub.conf" ? (/boot/grub/menu.lst should be a link to this, likewise so should /etc/grub.conf )

hay billymayday it worked, and I pluged in another key doard and its working okya. Can you explained what is going on.

By the way Thanks you guys
